“Remember the story about 40+ new Spitfires that were buried in Burma after WWII?”

They were buried during WW2 to keep them out of the hands of the Japanese. That area of Burma was in danger of being overrun during the Imphal-Kohima Offensive.

the story I referred to is below. The spitfires were buried when the war was over.

The story of the buried spitfires is hogwash.
